Utilizing only a drum kit, bass guitar, and vocal cords, Double Dagger manage to create a colossal wall of sound that touches on classic elements of hardcore and the boundless vision of early Punk while crafting a distilled, singular racket. Modern design is knocked on its ass and revived through a filter of tamed feedback as the Baltimore trio forge their frantic, post-punk anthems. Championing "luxury condos for the poor" and critiquing the emptiness of spent language, Double Dagger have distilled crisp snare attack, fuzzed-out bass lines, and Nolen Strals' clever, biting lyrics into an aural expectorant for our modern world.
After a successful series of EPs, split releases and live recordings, the band has returned with their most fully-realized release to date. Ragged Rubble, the band's 2nd full-length will be released on June 12. The Album's 12 tracks build rapidly, trading attack and counter-attack, rivaling the intensity of their frenetic live shows. Designed by acclaimed design collective Post Typography.
Emerging from the bustling Baltimore DIY music scene that has given birth to tour-mates, Dan Deacon, The Death Set, and Ecstatic Sunshine, Double Dagger has also performed with Lightning Bolt, The Thermals, Japanther, Pissed Jeans, Melt Banana, Erase Errata, Wolf Eyes, and Matt & Kim.
